Description

The original twin tipped Fred Perry shirt. A piece of British subcultural uniform, made in England for 60 years.

Made in Leicester, England, the M12 hasn’t changed since it was originally designed by Fred Perry in the ‘50s. Legend has it that a buyer from Lillywhites requested the addition of football team colours to the plain-colour Fred Perry shirt. It subsequently became the first piece to carry our signature twin tipping in the 5-4-4 ratio. The M12 was the piece that took us from sportswear to streetwear, and with all the same design details as the original, it’s a true piece of subcultural uniform. The colour palette references the retro tones found in our original catalogues; a legacy that is pure modernism.
